DISPLAY-:CABINET.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 736,311, dated August 11, 1903. Application filed October 29, 1902. Serial No. 129,307. (No model.) i

To all whom it may concern:-

Be it known that I, JOHN L. TANDY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Horton, in the county of Brown andState of. Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Display-Cabinets; and I do with an adjustable partitionthe adjustment of which may be such as to accommodate larger-size articles on one side and smaller articles on the other, thereby more thoroughly utilizing the space Within the cabinet.

The invention broadly consists of a suitable cabinet provided with an adjustable partition which may be so adjusted that largersize articles may be placed in the cabinet on one side of the partition and smaller articles in the other.

It further consists of the details of construction and arrangement of parts, as hereinafter described, and out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, illustrating the preferred embodiment of my invention, and in which like reference characters designate similar and corresponding parts, Figure 1 is a perspective View of my device. Fig. 2 is an elevation of one of the sections, and Fig. 3 is a transverse vertical section on the line a: m of Fig. 2.

Referring to the drawings showing the preferred embodiment of my invention, 1 indicates a series of sections or frames hinged together, preferably alternately at opposite ends, as shown, to permit the cabinet to be spread out like a screen. One or more of these sections .may be provided either with shelves 2 or poles 2*; but the, majority of them are preferably provided with my improved partition. Each section consists, prefparticularly pointed erably, of a rectangular frame open both in the front and rear, and the back section is preferably secured to the wall and the outer section provided with a door, so that when the device is folded together the articles within will be protected from the dust, doc.

My adjustable partitions 3 preferably fits loosely within the sections and are preferably supported by upper and lower hangers 4, pivoted thereto and to the sides 'of the frame. It is obvious that this construction permits the partition to be moved back and forth within the frame or section to increase or decrease the depth of the sections on one side, and consequently eitherincrease or decrease it on the opposite side, so as to accommodate large-sized articles on one side of the partition and smaller articles on the other. This partition is preferably provided with a pin 5, adapted to engage one of a series of holes or screws 6 in the frame or section to retain the partition in the desired position. The pin is preferably adjustably secured to the partition by a nut 7 upon a bolt 7, secured to the partition and extending through a slot 8 in the upper end of the pin 5, so that it may be readily inserted in or withdrawn from the holes. g

.It will be apparent that my invention provides a cabinet which may have its partition readily adjusted so as to accommodate largersize articles on one side and smaller articles on the other.

I am aware'that changes may be made in the details of construction herein shown and described, and I therefore reserve the right to make such changes as fairly wall within the scope of my invention.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that What I claim is- 1. A display-cabinet comprising a frame, an adjustable partition within said frame, hangers for securing the partition, at opposite sides thereof, adjustable to said frame.

2. In a display-cabinet the combination of a frame, an adjustable partition therefor, hangers for said partition pivoted thereto and to said frame.

3. In a'display-cabinet the combination of a frame, an adjustable partition therefor, hangers for said partition pivoted thereto and to said frame, and means for securing said partition. 1

4. In a display-cabinet the combination "of a frame, an adjustable partition therefor, hangers for said partition pivoted thereto and to said frame, a pin adjustabiy secured to said ing perforations therein adapted to receive partition, said frame having perforations said pin, a bolt secured to said partition and therein adapted to receive said pin to secure extending through said s1ot,'and a nut upon said partition. said bolt adapted to clamp said pin. 5 5. In a display-cabinet the combination of In testimony whereof I affix my signature 5 a frame, an adjustable partition therefor, in presence of two Witnesses. hangers for said partition pivoted thereto and JOHN L. TANDY. to said frame, means for securing said parti- Witnesses: tion in any desired position comprising a pin i J. T. LEWIS,
